'Massive' state layoffs predicted

ATLANTA - One leader in the Georgia legislature says "massive" layoffs of state employees are likely, as the state continues to struggle with its budget.

As many as 8,000 state jobs may be on the line.

That's according to Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers, who spoke at a news conference Monday and said he really can't offer much comfort or solutions.

Lawmakers are still working on the 2011 state budget.
